The Time Is Near

6 Then he said to me, a“These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the1 holy prophets bsent His angel to show His servants the things which must cshortly take place.  
7 a“Behold, I am coming quickly! bBlessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”  
8 Now I, John,1 saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, aI fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.  
9 Then he said to me, a“See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”  
10 aAnd he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, bfor the time is at hand.  
11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him1 be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”  

Jesus Testifies to the Churches

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and aMy reward is with Me, bto give to every one according to his work.

Revelation 22:8

And I John (Kagw Iwannhv). Here John the Seer is the speaker. He had already given his name (Revelation 1:1, Revelation 1:4, Revelation 1:9). Here he claims to be the "one who hears and sees these things" (o akouwn kai blepwn tauta).

I fell down to worship (epesa proskunhsai). Second aorist active indicative of piptw (with -a form) and the first aorist active infinitive of purpose of proskunew. It was a natural, though a wrong, thing to do, especially after Christ's own voice followed that of the angel "which shewed me these things" (tou deiknuontov tauta). Genitive singular of the articular present active participle of deiknuw. Cf. Revelation 1:1; Revelation 4:1; Revelation 17:1; Revelation 21:9 f.; Revelation 22:1, Revelation 22:6.
